“Elizabeth! What the hell are you doing?” A furious shout echoed from nearby,
Elizabeth turned her head, but before she could see who it was, she got shoved aside. She stumbled back a few steps and then saw
Henry helping Esme up.
Henry shot Elizabeth a glare and pulled Esme to her feet.
Esme clung to Henry, crying her eyes out, repeatedly calling his name, “Henry.” Henry nodded and gently comforted her.
Elizabeth stayed quiet, brushed off some imaginary dust from her clothes, and put on her usual indifferent look.
“What I did, Esme knows very well,” Elizabeth said, wiping her fingertips. Even touching Esme made her feel dirty now.
Henry laughed. “Elizabeth, don’t throw a tantrum at me. I’m not your family; I won’t indulge you
“Mr. Russell, isn’t that something I should be saying to you?” Elizabeth shot back.
Henry paused, feeling a headache coming on from the anger.
“You’d better ask Esme what she did!” Elizabeth added.
Esme dared to impersonate Elizabeth; surely, Esme’s family didn’t know.
Although Henry’s character seemed pretty poor when it came to protecting Esme, he was generally a decent guy otherwise.
The Russell Family members were generally decent people. But when it came to Esme, the whole family had this obsessive
pampering thing going on.
It was like they had lost and regained her, so they felt they had to give her the best of everything in the world. This ultimately led
Esme to even dare to commit murder!
Henry didn’t get what Elizabeth meant. But he looked at Esme, then at Elizabeth, whose features bore some resemblance to his, and stayed silent.
Seeing Henry’s silence, Esme got scared. “Henry, no matter what happens, you’ll always love me, right?” Esme asked in a small voice.
Henry gently responded, feeling a pang of heartache seeing Esme’s tears.
Esme had truly been pampered since childhood. But in recent years, because of Alexander, she had become increasingly fragile.
“Henry, take me home,” Esme said softly.
Henry nodded, picked Esme up, and left with her. As they walked away, he didn’t ask Elizabeth a single question.
He knew very well that for Elizabeth to be driven to such lengths, even risking her reputation to fight at the hospital entrance, Esme must have provoked her.
Henry didn’t want to question Esme further. No matter what Esme did, the Russell Family would take responsibility fo
Elizabeth watched Henry’s back, feeling a mix of helplessness and enky because Esme had such unconditionally indulgent family
members.

Elizabeth shook her wrist, looked at the bloodstains on the ground, and let out a cold laugh. She turned to leave, just as Felix’s car pulled up beside her.
Felix said, “I’ll take you home.”
Elizabeth looked at Felix and couldn’t help but sigh. “Felix, after all these years, your’re always the first to show up when I need someone the most.” Actually, she did have reliable friends.
Felix chuckled. “I’m happy to be at your

Elizabeth casually scrolled through the news, all posted by unscrupulous media, as if it were a
premeditated smear campaign.
Of course, for Alexander, this kind of thing was indeed a negative impact, not exactly a deliberate smear.
